I like this idea a lot — developer Daniel Hellerman is working on an app for the App Store that will interface with a Windows client to control Blizzard’s StarCraft 2 real-time strategy game. The RTS Gameboard for StarCraft 2 is an app, downloadable starting in September on the App Store (assuming it’s approved by Apple), that will purportedly let you control your units and buildings through the iPad and iPhone’s touchscreen interface. The app promises “mini-map control, detailed unit statistics, and easy touch access to the games most important hotkeys and macros.” Sounds good, right? Too good to be true, probably — unfortunately, the app only works with a Windows client running on the game’s PC, so this won’t work if you’ve been playing StarCraft 2 on your Mac (although Boot Camp should work ok, assuming the app does what it is supposed to)
